1997 Land Rover Discovery Offroader Rock Crawler on 2040-cars

Year:1997 Mileage:103000

If you have been looking for an Expedition vehicle this black beauty might be worth your consideration.  This is a fully loaded Disco.  Power everything and it even has heated seats and 2 sunroofs.  Nice European leather interior.  It is loaded with some of the best equipment for off-road driving and serious expedition travel.  This Disco would also make a great starting platform for an awesome rock crawler.

Good:
This Disco has a long list of aftermarket parts worth much more than the starting bid.  Front and rear RoverTym bumpers, and matching side rock sliders.  Front and rear skid plats.  Legendary Hannibal Safari aluminum roofrack.  Completely reworked suspension including coilovers, Bilsteins, front and rear link assemblies, rear shock mounts, etc., etc., even minor things like extended stainless braided brake lines.  5 steel NATO wheels with Interco’s TrXus.

Bad:
Currently, it is being driven daily, but it really should not be bought to be a daily commute vehicle – it’s a weekend toy.  It has aftermarket exhaust which is very load.  You might like that or you might not.  The engine light is on.  According to my mechanic it is due to O2 sensors.  I did not bother to change them and the light has been on for years, but motor seems to be running strong as always.  In my state due to its age I do not need to pass emissions test, but your state might be different and you might need to replace O2.  You also might want to replace rotors and pads.  There are signs of minor surface rust here and there.  A weekend project to clean and repaint these spots is a good idea.  It has been used as an offroad expedition toy so minor scratches and other imperfections should be expected.  Also, I unplugged rear power windows for safety while rock crawling.

Bottom line this Disco is a great starting point for a rock crawler build.  Add a winch, lockers and higher gears, and you got yourself an awesome rig.

All sales are final.  Sold As Is, Where Is.  Good luck.

Jaguar Land Rover details JustDrive connectivity suite

Tue, 18 Nov 2014



JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.

Jaguar Land Rover to badge vehicles based on horsepower

Wed, Sep 27 2017

Add Jaguar and Land Rover to the list of automakers changing their nomenclature due to the realities of engine downsizing. Spy photos of an unreleased Jaguar F-Type model show a badge reading P380 AWD. The letter P evidently refers to Petrol (British for gasoline), and 380 is the engine's horsepower. According to Auto Express, the entry-level F-Type will be badged P300, indicating the power output of its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Land Rover is expected to follow suit with the new badging nomenclature. Diesel models will get a D instead of a P, while electric and hybrid models will get an E badge, along with a number corresponding to total system power. So, expect the I-Pace to sport an E400 badge on its hind end. One question we have, though, is how the disparity between mechanical, metric and imperial horsepower will be dealt with. While such power-specific badges are arguably unnecessary, we expect the trend to proliferate as engines continue to get smaller but turbocharging and electrification keep horsepower climbing. At least JLR's badges are easier to understand than the messy way Audi plans to rename its models or the way BMW completely dismisses actual engine size in its naming convention.

Jaguar Land Rover develops 'transparent' A-pillar and ghost car [w/video]

Mon, Dec 15 2014

Jaguar and Land Rover are known for making highly covetable luxury, performance and off-road vehicles, but the British automakers are on a bit of a technology bent lately. Keen to show that it can not only keep up but lead the way when it comes to safety and convenience features, JLR has come out with two more systems to show the way forward. JLR's new 360 Virtual Urban Windscreen system, showcased on an XJ sedan, adopts two novel approaches to getting around town. First up is the Transparent Pillar system, which uses a combination of cameras and display screens embedded in the A, B and C-pillars to make them virtually disappear. Instead of acting as blind spots limiting the driver's visibility, the system uses the roof pillars to display what's going on around the car. If there's an obstacle hidden by the A-pillars, the system shows you the potential hazard as if the pillars weren't there, and brings the obstacle to the driver's attention. If the driver turns his or her head to see a vehicle passing alongside, it projects the vehicle on the inside of the B- or C-pillar. The second technology integrated in the next-generation head-up display is the Follow-Me Ghost Car Navigation system, which takes a page out of the video-game playbook by projecting a "ghost car" on the windscreen that the driver can then "follow" instead of listening to turn-by-turn directions or looking at a map in the dashboard display. The system is similar to what Jaguar recently showcased on an F-Type for track use, but applied for more practical use on city streets and highways. The release of these systems also follows the integrated smart navigation and infotainment system displayed on the Range Rover Sport and the Transparent Bonnet showcased on the Discovery Vision concept. Though these new technologies might not be quite ready for production applications, their impressive sum total goes to show that Jaguar Land Rover is ahead of the curve when it comes to reducing driver distraction and increasing the driver's visibility. Scope out the latest systems in the press release and video below for a closer look of what the future holds for British-style luxury motoring. This content is hosted by a third party.
